You will not be able to make any payments online or by phone on Wednesday 13 August, 9.30am to 3.30pm, while we carry out some important work on our payment system.

This means you won't be able to pay for things like parking permits, parking tickets (PCNs), council tax and rent through our website, automated payment line (020 7527 8000) or customer services number (020 7527 2000).

We are very sorry if this affects you. If you must make a payment, please try to do it on another day if you can or after 3.30pm on Wednesday 13 August.

Allotment plots

There was a significant response for applications to go on the Council’s allotment waiting list when it opened on 1st April 2021 and it is now closed as there are 200 names on it. It will re-open again as soon as possible after it has reduced to 100 names but that is not expected to happen for many years.

The council’s allotment waiting list is currently closed. There are 200 residents currently on the list and it will open again after it drops to 100 people. This could take many years. 

We own allotment plots at:

  • Evershot Road, N4
  • Monsell Road, N4
  • Pollard Close, N7 (includes two raised allotment plots)
  • Quill Street, N4

You can find our allotment policy in the ‘Useful documents’ section at the bottom of this page.

Other food growing opportunities

We also work with communities to encourage people to grow their own. There are independently managed sites in several of Islington’s community gardens, these include:
